God-Shaped Hole: A Novel

People, for some stupid reason, think they can escape their sorrows.

The author does have a way with words, but I didn't like this as much as I thought I would. The main character was too judgmental for my taste, and I don't think there was even one character that I liked. It felt overdramatic too especially towards the end. The romance all felt so cheesy if not pretentious, and very angsty too. It didn't help that it was an instalove romance. Maybe I would've loved this if I read this at least 5 years ago

I can't think of a coherent thing to say about God-Shaped Hole without giving anything away. The very first sentence, “When I was twelve, a fortune teller told me that my one true love would die young and leave me all alone,” sets a precedence that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time you're reading. The story of Jacob Grace and Beatrice Jordan is beautiful, heart warming, and heart breaking all at the same time. To me, a good book should make you feel things and God-Shaped Hole does just that. Tiffanie DeBartolo is brilliant and I hope she writes more in the future.
